I tried this down one side of my 59 fleetside bed & let it cure for a day to make sure it was the look I wanted. I didn't have a quart container to get started so my mix wasn't exactly how y'all made yours. I ended up spilling about 90% of what I mixed up. I decided to keep my used rags and paint brush (for the tight spots). Today I moved the rags into the cab of the truck after hours of tinkering. I went inside for a while & decided to head back outside just before dark to get some serial numbers off of my carburetor & measurements for the tail gate & fuel tank. I kept smelling an awful smell of something burnt. The further I got from my truck the weaker the smell. I checked the battery thinking maybe it was shorting out on something. That wasn't it. After several minutes checking in & around a few other vehicles I decided to check in the cab of the 59 truck. The smell was much stronger & the cab was full of smoke. I realized it was coming from the small rags I had used. After removing them & putting them out it became very obvious to me why she said to rinse the rags out with soap and water before disposing of them. I decided to read the container & sure enough the boiled linseed will generate heat when drying & can spontaneously combust as it did in my situation. I'm glad I was home & able to locate the smell to put out the smoldering rags. Simple mistake on my part that could have been very costly. Just figured it was worth mentioning. Hopefully nobody else makes the same mistake that I did. I am very happy with the look it offers on patina, the preservation of the metal & the affordability. Thank you for the video.
Yo this is extremely important, and should pinned. Oily rags can and will spontaneously combust if left alone. Always dispose of oily rags in a metal container with a lid, preferably at least ten feet away from any structure or vehicle.
@@luisponce1472 boiled linseed oil generates heat as it drys. If you leave it on cloth and the cloth is crumpled it traps that heat and catches fire. Read labels for EVERYTHING. The words aren't decoration.
Looks awesome, I might give this ago, one question, mineral spirits Is that mineral turpentine (turps), the same stuff that you use to clean up from oil based paints? I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 why the mineral spirits is that just to make it go further?
You mention flammable rags. What are your thought on wiping the engine compartment inside the hood, and parts of the engine. Is the thinner evaporating or staying in the oil.
Will this replenish old brittle plastic? I have a square body suburban that has some sun dried plastic and I'd like to keep as much of the plastic original, instead of spraying it with a raptor liner or something like that
Thank you. I'm definitely going to use this method on my old Packard. Just one question. How do you get your wife to help? My wife flips me off and calls me rude names if I ask for help.
I’m planning on doing this to ‘Abe, my ‘68 Continental. But I have some exposed primer on the bonnet. Anyone have experience with using the mixture on primer?
8 months and still looking good, I wash my 52 and its still holding up, used it on my Jeep plastic fenders and its better than store bought plastic dressing, I wonder how it would work as tire dressing
Yessir. Great for axe and shovel heads, too, when putting away for the offseason. I melt a little real pine tar in with the linseed oil; gives the handles a tougher look and a little more tack.
How often do you have to coat the truck? I live in Florida/rain etc. Just wondering how long it will adhere to the metal? Also, what is the purpose of the mineral spirits, it is ti thin out the oil more or make it flow etc? Thanks again and SO-Weet Truck! Liked and Subscribed.
Not a problem; boiled linseed oil dries, just like enamel (oil base) paint, it just slows down the drying time. In a day or so it will be dry and can be painted over.
Don’t throw those rags in a trash can or bucket especially inside. The oil mixed with O2 will cause heat and they could spontaneously combust. I’m a demo contractor and the amount of houses we have torn down from people refinishing floors and throwing all the rags in a 5gal bucket is insanity.
The safest way of dealing with linseed oil soaked rags is to lay them out flat or drape them over something so they can dry out without building heat in a balled up mass. The ability for linseed oil soaked rags to spontaneously combust is very real and well documented. Never throw fresh oily rags into a container inside a box or trash container without drying them out first.
I'd say it's safe enough if you have the rags in a ventilated area where the heat can escape. No need to be overly cautious if there's just a few small rags as in the vid. Otherwise, if you are concerned, just light them yourself and get it over with the burning.
@@cschlater thats the stupidest reply ever. soak em in water tied up in a plastic bag tight and in the garbage. Many a homeowner have burned down homes and buildings thinking it wasn't too flammable.

I wish I could send you a photo of how of a difference this made on my truck . . it's crazy, it made it look like it has this fancy paint job on it now.... thanks for the video!!!
BE CAREFUL WITH LINSEED OIl AND RAGS PEOPLE!!! The oxygen in the air reacts to the linseed oil on the rag and it generates heat, and can catch fire without a spark.. Say you left your oily rags on your workbench in your garage in a hot day and went out for a few hours. If it got hotter then 120 in there. You would come back to a burnt down house. Dont leave them in the sun either.. Or poof. Up they go
Thank you so much for this video an this information I just rubbed my coe down an man I tell ya I love it never had a clue about this and looks 27 times better than clear coat and a hell of a lot cheaper thank you so much my friend!
oily rags are subject to spontaneous combustion. if you leave them in a pile, and conditions are right, they will get warmer, then hotter until they catch fire due to a chemical reaction. many shops have special air-tight cans to keep this from happening by excluding oxygen. it is not only that the rags are flammable, but they will catch fire by themselves without an external ignition source.
I guess I never got the whole rust/patina look on a vehicle. Everything that I build coming up with a bad sass paint scheme is one of my favorite parts. I wouldn’t feel like I completed everything! Lol
Tony Wolf i totally agree but money wise for me rn its what i have to do to stop further rust on my 68 bug but when i have more money im going to do a full paint job
I have used boiled linseed for years on wood and metal but it never occured to me it might be good on the oxidized paint on my ol squarebody. So glad I found this vid that I subscribed to your channel, gonna dig into more of your content now. Thanks and keep em comin
I have an old school bus in Scotland, and it had the original marine plywood floor, and no rust. I didn't want to rip it up and damage it, so I poured boiled linseed oil and white spirit between wood and metal floor to future proof it. Also painted it on the faded blue fibreglass roof and it sealed it and brought it back to match the body colour. After seeing this, I'm going to paint the undercarriage too! Far cleaner than old engine oil or waxoyl.
Many people use the thickest chain oil they can get under the car. I have only 1 car to keep so I stick to Fluid Film even though it is expensive. Protects and gets a relatively dry surface.
I am using this on a patina'd steel patio glider - you know, the kind that would tipover on you as kids if it wasn't bolted down.... I had used a 50/50 boiled linseed and CLR mix - but I am not happy with the result... I am thinking you might have just what I needed. Thanks BBG
Also works great as an annual undercoating for vehicles in the rusty states up north. Turpentine is also mixable with boiled linseed oil and helps it dry.

Not only are those rags flammable but boiled linseed oil is notorious for spontaneous combustion which is why it's so important to get rid of the rags properly and not tossed in the shops trash bin
I just did my grandpa's 87 f350. It already has a nice patina thanks to fords quality paint process in the 80's. But I want to preserve it until I can get it painted.
I showed this video to my papa. He wants to do the same. He asked what did you before that? Just sand it down? Also how often do you reapply? Thanks bro truck looks great.
So glad I found this video. I was going to clear coat my motorcycle tank (going for a raw metal look on my 1981 cb750c). This seems like a much better route! Thanks for sharing. Truck looks amazing btw
It’s gotta slow it down! I like the old Wagner spray guns. Throw some old oil in that thing and spray the bottom of your car then find a dirt road on a dry day. Works better than anything else

It's a lot easier for me to just use a flat clear spray paint doesn't look like anything's on the rust and yet it is. You might have to touch it up every couple of years depending on how much you have it out in the weather but you have to do that with this method also. And you won't get your clothes all greased up when you rub up against it
I watched your videos. Watched them again, then again. I have an old f100, went out and spent a few days sanding it down, I went crazy! Cleaned the truck, then did as you say with the BLO and MS! Simply amazing. It went from a nice looking grandpa truck to a bad ass rat rod, all for the price of some sandpaper and BLO!( boiled linseed oil)
I just bought a '41 Ford p/u that is all original body & paint. Very patina. Does this attract dust & dirt? Also, what if I decide to start doing body work and eventually paint the truck? How hard is linseed oil to clean/degrease later? Cool channel!
I did this over old faded paint and it only lasted about half a year. But it looked good, I'm going to do it again and will just have to do it once or twice a year. Maybe it will start to get better and last longer after several applications.
@@bradleygrossman4262- Good question! Rust is porous and will fully absorb any oil you put on it, similar to wood. So the rust is actually helping to keep the oil on the surface of the pure steel beneath, thus preserving it. The oil keeps the oxygen and the water away from the pure steel beneath, so I don't see how it can rust anymore with oil on it. Steel cannot rust without water and oxygen in contact with it. No chemical reaction can occur because the reactive chemicals (iron, water, oxygen) are not all present together if you apply oil. At least that's my theory.... I have not done extensive testing. AND I can't seem to find any solid answers to this question online. Let me know if you find anything.
Don't do it. It turns everything dark brown as it ages. I just got done using a couple of cases of oven cleaner to remove it from a truck I just bought to bring back the original color. Unless you want a brown truck?
Never,Never,Never use a mason jar,she said "it looks delicious" my little brother drank some of this and almost died when he was 7 yrs old he thought it was tea, still has health problems 30 years later, terrible advice.

The best thing is spread the rags out on the driveway until dry or hardened up , then dispose , or if you have a fire pit , burn them.

Simply amazing. It went from a nice looking grandpa truck to a bad ass rat rod, all for the price of some sandpaper and BLO!( boiled linseed oil)
What process did you use to sand?
Excellent work on your truck btw. This is a great tip. Thank you
I just bought a '41 Ford p/u that is all original body & paint. Very patina. Does this attract dust & dirt? Also, what if I decide to start doing body work and eventually paint the truck? How hard is linseed oil to clean/degrease later? Cool channel!
yeah more on my list
How often do you re-apply it? I’m thinking of doing the same thing to my ‘72 GMC C20 once I get it done, great video! Cheers 🍻
I did this over old faded paint and it only lasted about half a year. But it looked good, I'm going to do it again and will just have to do it once or twice a year. Maybe it will start to get better and last longer after several applications.
Love your channel
Marc's Garage thanks!! Thanks for the support!
@@BrokeBastardGarage great content!
I as a lifelong painter have used your formula on everything from the rat to cedar shingles! The best go to I know of! 👍
What happens to the original rust, will it continue to eat at the metal?
@@bradleygrossman4262- Good question! Rust is porous and will fully absorb any oil you put on it, similar to wood. So the rust is actually helping to keep the oil on the surface of the pure steel beneath, thus preserving it. The oil keeps the oxygen and the water away from the pure steel beneath, so I don't see how it can rust anymore with oil on it. Steel cannot rust without water and oxygen in contact with it. No chemical reaction can occur because the reactive chemicals (iron, water, oxygen) are not all present together if you apply oil. At least that's my theory.... I have not done extensive testing. AND I can't seem to find any solid answers to this question online. Let me know if you find anything.
Don't do it. It turns everything dark brown as it ages. I just got done using a couple of cases of oven cleaner to remove it from a truck I just bought to bring back the original color. Unless you want a brown truck?
Awesome how gunsmithing and cars come together. Boiled linseed oil protects the guns I work on and now protects my rusty muscle truck
Great idea! My question is, is this a one time process or should it be repeated over time? Also, will it wash off? Thanks.
i thought I saw a chipmunk living in his beard 😀✌
Never,Never,Never use a mason jar,she said "it looks delicious" my little brother drank some of this and almost died when he was 7 yrs old he thought it was tea, still has health problems 30 years later, terrible advice.
OMG, that's horrible, hope he's ok.
I have a 65 Chevy pick up that I was thinking of clear coating but now I am definitely going to use your technique. Nice house, I wish I was broke like you.
So Does that slow the rust down? Is that the objective?
As soon my car is ready, i will send you a picture. Thank you for everything 😃👍🏼🇸🇪
@3:04 She's Behind You Snapping On Rubber Gloves ... ? Hmmm ... Okay - Not That Kinda Party
I like the metal/wood fence in the back ground 👍
I noticed that fence too! Super nice!
Put old oil rags in a bucket full of water. Keeps them from spontaneously combusting.
nice vid mate, salute from Indonesia
Looks great on my 87 K5 with its rusted hood and roof, and every shade of Dark Blue. How do you get it from not attracting dust? Thank you.

Hey cool video. How often do you do this. How long does this last before you reapply? Thanks.
If down the road you want to strip and paint it, does it cause any problems? Thanks!
I just did this to my ‘69 Beetle! Thanks for the video, it looks great!
